06/04/2009

Demi Moore is reported to have intervened on Twitter to save a potentially suicidal woman in California. The unidentified woman posted details about how she was going to kill herself on the popular micro-blogging site late on Friday morning.

But Moore forwarded on the message to over 350,000 of her followers leading to someone contacting the police in San Jose who in turn tracked down the distressed woman.

The star of G.I. Jane is just one of the many celebrities who has been bitten by the Twitter bug and wrote on her account that the incident was a "prime example of the power of collective consciousness".
